If I had to guess - i'd say 3" - maybe 3.5" at best! He's got misbars on both sides, but the other side just looks like the line is not complete yet.

Oh wow that's great! I was worried because on the website it says 1.5"-2.25" and those are pretty small. 3" is great!! Hmm.. I'm probably going to pull the trigger
Thanks!

Got mine late today so I only have 30 min to get him in HT. I decided to set up a HT for him. Got salinity to 25 ppt. I was prepared to low it to 20 ppt if need to match shipping salinity by adding RO water standing by. Even calculated the exact amount needed.
On arrival salinity is at 25 ppt so I did not need to adjust the HT salinity. I will increase the salinity by doing large NS water change over the next 24-48 hrs. Once I got salinity up to 35 ppt i will put him in my QT system. Mine is 2 inches, still with false eye spot, pictured in HT below
BTW I also got two abalones from LA. Their salinity is spot on 35 ppt.

I think mine might have picked at the clam I left in the QT while I was at dinner. Pretty sure the shell is moved and it looks like some is missing. I need to get it eating really well before it goes in he display because I'm sure my other one will give him some trouble at first. The one I have in the display now is definitely not shy.

Welp! Our little guy arrived today! He was delayed due to a storm in Kentucky, then they said they'd deliver him tomorrow. I called and asked if I could come get him, and they said he was buried in 1000s of packages. Hoped for the best and left, on my way out the door, UPS shows up with my package (obviously NOT buried.)!
So here he is. Looks very healthy, and has a few misbars on him, but I think it's because he's so young. I hope he keeps one of them though!
Anyway, he's into his first day of TTM now, so we'll see how he fares!
Definitely a misbar, enjoy

Congrats, and to all others. Have fun raising the most beautiful fish we can have in our tanks.

UncleSalt and alton,
You guys have very nice misbared. Of the 4 Regals I have at this time only one is misbared. I like the coloration of the mature blue chest better than the yellow chested ones. Now I have 2 of each. One of my yellow chest was from the Red Sea and the other from Indian Ocean.
Alton infected me with Regal Disease and I love to be infected with this disease.

Mine's still chilling and waiting! Still eating NLS pellets, Mysis, and some algae flakes. Cruises the tank and sits near his PVC pipe. Seems to be doing good. Tomorrow gets his first move into the next tank for his TTM!
I did by some air tubing, but not an airstone......didn't realize the tubing floats! So I have to find a way to keep it down in the water!
I zip tie it to a piece of rock rubble.I don't use an airstone either.
